But the switch failed to materialize due to the Red Devils’ concern over Vidal’s niggling knee injuries, as well as the midfielder himself wishing to stay with the Serie A champions.

This season, however, Vidal has played nowhere near the club’s high expectations and is now not a guaranteed starter in Massimiliano Allegri’s midfield.

Paul Pogba has become Juve’s key midfielder alongside Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio, which could finally force Vidal to leave the club since joining in 2011

The Red Devils have been in the market for a world class midfielder in the past few windows, and could once again turn to Vidal if priority target Kevin Strootman from Roma fails to join Louis van Gaal’s side.
